The entry was #470 and Wingsounds chose Zebra wood! He ofcourse can change that if he likes as we can talk over woods etc. Send me an email at contactzmf@gmail.com and I'll get you set-up with an Auteur!

Thanks to everyone who participated, I have just started looking over the entries and there's a lot of interesting wood choices in here.

Congrats! Thx Zach, this was fun. How about sonic differences? Af. Blackwood vs Zebrawood soundstage similar? Blackwood maybe a little faster?

Oh... holy crap! I am a bit freaked out, but in a very good way. I have been busy with various things, including a new job that I just started this week and have not had much time to check emails and forums, so I just found out about this. This is turning out to be the best November that I have had in years.

Thanks everyone, and most especially, huge thanks to Zach for having this contest, making great headphones and being a really great guy in general.

One other detail, my entry included two options, first was Camphor wood and second was Zebrawood. I am happy to receive either, but will have a little talk with Zach to see just where this goes. I do like the look of the Camphor wood, and the idea of the lighter weight. On the other hand, I really loved the look of the coffee stained Zebrawood special edition Omni/Ori. Decisions, decisions. Truth is that I look forward to a bit of a discussion about these with Zach.

Oh, yes, while I am no Golden Ear, I do have a reasonable ear and as most here, enjoy listening to music. Reading the Auteur comments has had me drooling as the Auteur sound signature being described almost exactly matches my preferred signature. When I get my pair of these wonders I will have a careful listen and report back.

Again, thanks everyone and Zach in particular.

Well, it's been forever (or at least felt like it) and my Auteurs are finally here. I ended up with Ash, even though it was not a wood that I had thought about. Long story, and unless Zach steps in and says no, I'll give you the short version soon.

I'm really just here at the moment to say that they have arrived and I have not forgotten about coming back with a report. That will come after I have spent some time with them and better understand their true character. For now I'll just say Wow! Yes, they sound really good already. If they improve with time, as most 'phones do, they should be incredible. Odds are that they really are endgame 'phones for me, though my quest for THE source and THE amp is certain to be going on for years to come, just adding to ththe years already gone.

More soon.
